Christian Love in Action.

I respect Stephen Hawking I really do. His books are interesting, and throughout his works the complex ideas of modern physics are explained to the ordinary bloke in a readable manner (well at least most of the time). However, he is a deeply flawed individual who is sometimes wildly wrong, deeply unpleasant and arrogant about his obvious abilities. Stephen has hit the headlines today, worldwide, with an interview with the Guardian where he claims that "Heaven is fairytale made up by people that are afraid of death" , a pretty standard Atheist statement to be honest - but the American religious Right have gone batshit crazy (including Sarah Palin) accusing him of some kind of satanic plot. One of the best places to see the ignorant at work is of course twitter, all of the tweets below are genuine and I have kept the user names deliberately in place to ensure the those guilty of this kind of vile crap cannot hide. I am sure that the founder of the religion that many of these people profess, (who said "If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also.") would be utterly ashamed of these so called Christians. I leave you with their comments.
